Porsche 904
The 904, its full name "Porsche 904 Carrera GTS", was a special Porsche model in many ways. Due to Ferdinand Porsche's unique design, the sports car is affectionately called "Butzi's masterpiece" and many still count it among the most appealing road racing cars ever.
In 1963 the Porsche 904 was brought to life in a record-breaking six months - including the time for development. And this is just one of the reasons that made the car a flagship of innovation.
For the homologation as a racing car, about 100 Porsche 904 were licensed as road vehicles and sold to private customers. The demand was so strong that the car soon became a highly exclusive rarity. The unique look of the Porsche design and the combination of technical innovations and low production costs added to the cult status of the Porsche 904 that lasts to the present day.
